Daisy, pit bull terrier mix
Daisy is a charming female pit bull terrier mix being kept at Demi's Animal Rescue.
She's already house-trained. She's vaccinated and spayed.
From Daisy's current caretaker:
This girl has spunk! She has such a fun personality and does things that make us laugh such as sitting with her legs extended behind her or sleeping on our stairs. One of the cutest things that Daisy does is when she goes to sleep sometimes she puts one of the dog beds in her mouth and then kneads it with her paws.

Stella, pit bull terrier
Stella is a female pit bull terrier dog staying at Animal Rescue of the Rockies.
No other dogs, please: Stella is looking for a dog-free forever home. She already has all of her shots, and she is spayed. No need to worry: She's already house-trained.
From Stella's current caretaker:
At a fit 50 pounds, this former puppy mill breeding dog has been eagerly exploring her new environment, savoring the taste of safety and learning how loving feels. Most content in the company of someone she trusts, she’s happiest playing with her toys in the yard and going for leisurely walks, responding promptly to "sit" and "leave it" when she gets distracted.
